I have symptoms similar to ones posted. I wake up drenched. My shirt and my legs are wet. I switched sides with my BF to see if it was the heater that was making me sweat so much at night. He said he was fine. So he said it was all me. Today I decided to look it up and I am feeling strongly that I have a problem. I am usually sleeping in a cold room, relatively speaking, right next to a heater and window. Then I am in a tank top and short sleeping shorts. I should be cold if anything. I am for a while but then I wake up drenched. I also get the chills right after. I am glad I know now.

Many times I sweat around the neck and chest. Mainly, because I believe I am over-blanketed. I sleep on my side with the covers held under my chin and neck with my hands. It's usually not severe. However, whenever I have a cold or sinus/chest infection, whether I am feverish or not, I sweat profusely around my chest and neck, and sometimes upper back, enough so that I must change my tee-shirt, sometimes 3-4 times a night and the pillow and bed clothes are wet. When the cold is gone, so is this particular kind of night sweat. Also, I never sweat anywhere else usually. This has been on-going since my 20s. I am a 49 year old male. Not overweight and in relatively good shape, exercise 3-4 times a week.

I'm a 28 year old female and I have been "suffering" with night sweats for a year now. I really didn't think anything was wrong, and the thing is I live in a little town where nurses are available, but doctors are flown in, maybe, twice a month. So the internet plays a big part and reading all the symptoms of other people going through pretty much the same thing. I know I must get to a doctor, because you never know. It can range from a simple cold to something more serious like cancer.

Hi l'm just about to turn 48, for the last 18 months. I have been having hot flashes in the day time along with dizziness I am menopausal the doctors have said. For the last 4 months now l have had the night sweats up to 6 times a night, (not nice). I sleep with nothing on and it's still just as bad. l throw the legs out of bed to cool off.

I'm 47 and have had night sweats for about 3 years. They get worse for 7 to 10 days before my period - soaking wet all up my back into my hair. I often spend night throwing off all my covers because I am sweating only to pull them back up when my arms and legs get cold, every couple of hours - haven't had 8 continuous hours of sleep in year. So annoying!

I am a 21 year old female and I have night sweats. This just recently started about 2 months ago. I don't know what the cause is even when my bedroom is cool my husband wakes me up and he is like why are the sheets so wet and why is you pillow soaking wet. I wake up every night sweating like I have just run a marathon. My hair is naturally straight but when I wake up in the middle of the night from sweating it is extremely curly and soaking wet. My pillow is drenched and my sheets are drenched. I do a lot of tossing and turning and that is not like me. I don't know if I should go see a doctor because this is something I have never experienced and I am kind of worried.

The night sweats will start with beads of sweat around my nose and forehead, then it shifts to the back of my head in the neck area, then to the entire neck and on occasion down my chest. I have also woken at times totally soaked, legs, abdomen groin area. During the day time when I am having a hot shower I must reduce the temperature of the water. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in my early thirties, but treatment was stopped when the T4 level stayed at high normal. (I am now 60). The symptoms I am now suffering are severe anxiety, multiple bowel movements. This totally reminds me of my original thyroid diagnosis. I would just love to have that treatment back. Currently the physician is not looking at that, and is trying to increase my Ogen!

Night sweats had them 6 weeks getting worse each night I'm 41 female I'm also having them through the day pains in my joints drooling and twitching in my left and pain on my left ear.
